TALES
OF
CITY LIFE.

BY CATHARINE M. SEDGWICK.

I. “THE CITY CLERK.”

II. “LIFE IS SWEET.”

With Four Illustrations. 1 vol., square 18mo.,
embossed cloth
.

Who that has read “Home,” “Means and Ends,” “Poor
Rich Man and Rich Poor Man,” &c., by Miss Sedgwick,
will not desire to have these new Tales from her agreeable
pen? We venture to say that no one who reads this volume
will fail to be deeply interested in the character and fate of
“The City Clerk” and his sister, and will rejoice in the triumph
of innocence and honesty as developed in the story.
“Life is Sweet,” is one of the most beautiful essays that has
been written, and will tend to make every one more patient
with their lot in life, and to have a kindlier feeling toward his
neighbour. Like all of Miss Sedgwick's writings, these
Tales inculcate excellent principles, and should be in the
hands of every youth.
